Cookie Day is an annual advocacy event where low-income tenants, families, providers, elected officials, and community members unite to expand and deepen the impact of the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program. The event earned its name from the tradition, started by Homes for Families, of families and advocates handing out house-shaped cookies to elected officials as a reminder to support MRVP. This year MAHT is taking the lead along with various groups across the state to keep this event going.
